Hi folks i have looked all over the net but no luck as yet i,am buiding a cabin cruiser 3ft long not to different to a Huntsman . Now my question is is it possable to buy chrome hand rails to fit around the bow. I have seen the brass ones but i want a bit of bling i seem to rembember the Huntsman came with chrome rails as a friend had one 20years ago or did i dream it.

mfa can supply them for both their spearfish and the bigger fantome , or just make up what you want in brass and get it plated !

Making up handrails for sports boats is 'blinking!' difficult!  
 And at scale dimensions, there are notoriously weak and prone to damage.

Hello,
316L stain-less steel wire is easy to fabricate into railings and polishes very nice or chemical polish in dip tank.
The railings can be soldered using silver solder paste, found in syringes now. Makes a very clean soldered joint.
This SS railing makes a much stronger railing to.
Regards,
Giovanni

I had my railings chrome plated for my Atlantis, despite costing £70 as it is a minimum cost it was well worth it.
On the other hand a company in Kent quoted me £500 !! Needless to say there still waiting my reply.
